ODO for North Manchester, Adam McGovern, has been very quick off
the mark this season. He’s been organising all kinds of events and
activities in his area, many of which reflect the fact that
youngsters who start sailing with OnBoard frequently go on to
become keen club racers.
Children from three East Devon schools had an OnBoard taster
session recently with two ‘home-grown’ champions who are bound for
the Olympics in Beijing. The event, at Exmouth Sailing Club, also
introduced local councillors to the OnBoard concept – and
impressed one of them so much she has donated money to the scheme.
Banbury Cross Sailing Club hosted an OnBoard sailing taster and
kayaking day for four local schools recently - and an amazing 76
youngsters went out on the water.
Members of sailing and windsurfing clubs from all around Yorkshire
and Humberside met the 20th ODO when they arrived at Pugneys
Country Park, Wakefield on 20 May for the launch of OnBoard in the
area.
A school in an estuary town in Devon has received grants from
Awards for All and OnBoard to set up a windsurfing club on a lake
an hour’s drive away – so that the youngsters can eventually
windsurf close to home.
The youth club members at OnBoard club Youth Afloat have been
successful in getting a grant of £2500 from FLOSS, a
Worcestershire based youth trust charity run by teenagers. The
club has recently opened to six-year-olds and the application was
made in order to purchase suitable buoyancy aids and helmets.
A new Henri Lloyd catalogue has recently been sent out to all OB
clubs and centres. Orders must be emailed to
